Series 5/3mx image The first Psion machine to appear was the Organiser I, back in 1984, followed by the Organiser II, MC range, Series 3, 3a, 3c, Siena, Series 5 and the Series 3mx. Sadly, in 2002 Psion announced its withdrawal from the PDA market, meaning that its range at the time, consisting of the Series 5mx, Revo, Revo Plus (including a re-badged version for the US, the Diamond Mako), Series 7 and netBook, are the last machines from Psion. (Rebadged Psion machines have also appeared as the Ericsson MC218 and the Acorn Pocketbook).

The Operating System, EPOC, is now owned and developed by Symbian, and is in use by manufacturers such as Ericsson and Nokia. EPOC v6 can be found in the Nokia 9210 Communicator, and Symbian OS can be found in smartphones such as the Nokia 7650 and the SonyEricsson P800.

Palmtop User magazineBack in 1994, I started writing software for the Psion range including the finance package BankPlus. Over the years, I have also written some other utilities, including: Kallcost, a telephone timer, the engine for Carl Reader's PsionLab animation, Backtime, a utility for broadcasters and XLottery, a basic lottery number generator. Copies of all of the software released over the years can be found at the download page.

You can find information about Psion machines, and the EPOC/Symbian operating system between the pages of Palmtop User Magazine, a full-colour magazine dedicated to handheld computing. The magazine was originally known as Palmtop Magazine, containing only dedicated Psion content. The newer Palmtop User includes Palm OS and Pocket PC content. I'm slightly biased, as I've been writing a regular feature, On The Net, as well as reviews of third-party products and user tutorials, since the magazine's launch in 1995.

The latest version of this page, with more Psion content, can be found at www.filesaveas.com/psion.html
